The Havre de Grace Arts Collective, in cooperation with Havre de Grace Elementary and Middle Schools along with the Havre de Grace Police Department, are presenting the film, “Wonder,” in conjunction with a post-film discussion on bullying. Multiple screenings will be held during the school day on November 13th, November 26th & 28th at the Cultural Center at the Opera House in Havre de Grace.

PFC Teresa Adams from the police department, an experienced speaker on the subject of bullying, has already spoken to a variety of schools and Boys and Girls Clubs around Harford County. She is tailoring this particular discussion around the film. One of the messages of the film can be wrapped up in a single quote from the film, “Given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind.”

The 2017 film “Wonder” is the story of a boy with a rare medical facial deformity who enters public school for the first time as a fifth grader. It is a story of friendship, cruelty, courage and teaching about the downside of bullying for all concerned. The film stars Julia Roberts, twelve-year old Jacob Tremblay, and Owen Wilson.

The Havre de Grace Arts Collective is a non-profit organization that operates the newly remodeled 201 seat theater on Union Avenue, The Cultural Center at the Opera House. The volunteer members of the Collective are committed to bringing the arts (music, drama, dance, visual arts, and film) to the community. Over the past year, the Collective has presented a series of children’s films as Saturday matinees at no charge for children, while adults are asked to pay a nominal ticket price. “We are committed to bringing all kinds of art experiences to our community’s children,” says Rebecca Jessop, Executive Director.

“We love the idea of bringing kids to our theater to see and talk about the film, “Wonder,” a very special film indeed. And of course, we are particularly happy for them to be introduced to our city’s most recent performance space. After all, it’s really their theater too.”

For more information about this partnership or developing additional collaborations in the future, please contact Rebecca Jessop, 410-502-2005, executivedirector@artscollective.org.

Another Saturday night
And I ain’t got nobody
I don’t got no money ‘so I just just can’t get laid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to but no friend to talk to
I’m in an awful way
Let me tell you ’bout it, lookie here, I just sit in my Mommy’s basement and smoke some pot, then I just post crap on the dagger, piss of a person or two
I’m in a awful way…..

My God you are really an a$$. If you really think that, you need to get more pot and other $hit you use in ya. get over yourself, I wouldn’t brag about all the ones that rag on you, and thank God I’m nothing like you. Pothead as we all know and say. Party on, don’t hurt yourself tonight….

The only thing you own is your date, which is it the left or right hand tonight. LOL Hope ya get some.

OK, so let me get this straight. You get on here and TRY to come up with lyrics to whatever hillbilly redneck tune that you were farting in the bath tub and when the person who you are writing about tells you that they own you because you can’t do anything but fantasize about them and it is totally obvious that you are obsessed with that same person, you then want to act like it isn’t so? GOOD GOD man, you already typed in the proof that is right here, immortalized on this webpage. How can you deny it? Do you habitually write songs about other men you are fantasizing about? Is it just me? Do I need to worry about you trying to steal the virginity of my anus? Are you a stalker? Are you a rapist? Man, I feel threatened. I’m getting really scared. Now, you couldn’t be anything like me because you are a stinking traitor. A two bit half wit whose wife’s face resembles what she left in the toilet from her last episode of the crone’s disease she can’t lick. You have to wonder where that irritable bowel syndrome came from and I bet it’s because you can’t keep the whole neighborhood out of her butt! You act like marijuana is a bad thing, but what is really bad is you pimping your wife’s A$$ out to every teenage boy on the block. You can take the hoe out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the hoe and you definitely can’t keep your next door neighbor from plowing her field. The one thing I do know is if I use my right hand or my left hand, I won’t catch whatever STD that you and however many deer herders you sold your wife’s virtue to for the $2 that you are overcharging them. So keep playing in the mud, maaaaan, because she loves it back there…..

@Soulcrusher, reading your responses to people is to say the least very troubling. I think you are a person who should seek some help maybe for all your internal hate and anger. My gosh, don’t you have any self respect or respect for others? Have you always been like his? Did your parents raise you like this? The guy who made a joke from the song lyrics was somewhat comical, it’s done all the time in the media, social media and the entertainment field to people, but to respond with such hate and vulgarity? Again, think about getting help for yourself. Don’t bother writing nasty things back to me, because I won’t be writing back. I just hope you seek some help. God Bless you.

Spoken boldy from his true lover, whipping in on his white steed to save his boyfriend. Your just as bad as him, but alas be proud of your reputations here as the two most despised and unrespected contributors. You have a great now, you’ll hear!

On this website, if you don’t have you head half way up Law Enforcement’s ass while cupping the nutz, you’re just hated , despised and not respected. By the way, unrespected isn’t a word, but I’m not acting as the spelling police. I’m acting as the grammar police. Now, do something useful and go make me a turkey pot pie…..

How about that, you’re right for once. However, my computer has an automatic spell checker that underlines the word “unrespected” as not being a word or misspelled. Exactly the way you and I are spelling it even. You do know the proper grammar would be “least respected” and not unrespected, but I’m going to give you that one. My mistake. Or is it?

Just the other day what looked like a couple of middle aged people in an SUV drove up behind me really fast, I was slightly under the speed limit. I noticed the driver start waving their arm/hand around as if to say “WHY ARE YOU GOING SO SLOW?” followed shortly by their high beams flashing, followed shortly by their middle finger flying proud.

I normally pull over somewhere and get out of the way for douchebags like this but since there was no shoulder and no safe place to pull over to stop I just drove normally and safely with them behind me doing this for a few miles until they went some other direction.

Point is: These people obviously have some sort of issue that’s no doubt in tjet Gene pool of any potential next of kin.

There has to be some major issue going on or all these people’s kids wouldn’t be overdosing in opioids.

Everyday I see lots of drivers in Harford County speeding, aggressive driving, and these people never get anywhere faster than me. They literally just got wait at the next traffic light and the amount of time they sat there waiting for a green was the same amount of time it would have took to drive there without going 20mph over the speed limit.

I’ve attended many viewings. Funerals as well. I really enjoy the little buffet dinners afterwards. It makes me feel like I am being rewarded for having to sit thru that boring crap. I REALLY like it when someone is foolish enough to have drinks at those buffets. Stuff really comes out of the woodwork when a group of grieving family members get drunk and start discussing the will and estate. Gotta love it.

We know he’s lying once again……he has only one friend, the idiot who used Jane and all the other names, now, WTF and AH….what a pair those two are. His own Momma don’t like him, she banished him to her basement…

I don’t have to be your friend to attend your viewing or funeral. I live right around the corner from the funeral home and I visit it whenever I can. Its great going in the funeral and no one knows who you are, but those after funeral parties are the bomb. You know you can really pick up a lot of women at the after funeral parties. Grieving widows will even pay you to take their mind off of the deceased. Don’t knock it until you try it. Hell I made $50 the other day, tax free, for giving that 80 year old lady what she needed. I did her 40 year old daughter for free tho. What the hell. They were having a bad day and deserved a group rate…..

I’m sometimes on Route 7 in the morning hours and traffic is long lines of cars with gaps separated by traffic signal intervals heading towards Aberdeen.

I like to keep about 40 feet of space open in front of me driving this road during sun rise. People will pass me on one of the two round abouts that have double lanes, drive as fast as they can and hit the brakes. Long line of cars as far as you can.

I don’t get the mentality, with the amount of cars and traffic lights, they only save like 3-4 seconds of time.
